a case that is a component of the connector and has an installation groove formed thereon, into which installation groove
the board shaped fixing member is inserted toward the substrate and installed, wherein said installation groove includes a
front open portion defined by opposing side walls; and
a regulating portion provided at either side of the fixing member along a direction of installation of the fixing member onto
the case and formed by bending a portion of the fixing member so as to protrude from said board shaped fixing member; wherein
a regulating groove is defined along the direction of installation on the case by said opposing side walls, and when the fixing
member is installed onto the case, the regulating portions are guided along the regulating groove and tilting of the fixing
member relative to the direction of installation is controlled.
